Out and back to Ricks creek before work.  Headwind all the way home with the stinging lash of driven rain.  Invigorating. 

The mucous that was squirting out of my son's eyes is much abated.  Thanks, drops.

After a hike to patsy's mine with two daughters, I went for a quick jaunt to the creek and back.  But it wasn't quick or a jaunt.  More like a slow slog.  At least the accursed campaign signs are finally removed.

 

I still run.  I just don't have as much to say about as before.

I've been a bit under the weather.  Got on the treadmill today, and actually had a workout...for my current level of fitness.

1 @ 7 mph

1@ 8 mph

1@ 7 mph

1.5 @ 8 mph

.5 cool down at 7 mph. 

Watched the Mavs/Clippers.  Pullups and planks.  Could sleep fretting about my job and buying an old car.

Maybe this should count as a double.  I ran from home up to Maple Hills, did a couple hours of yardwork, then ran back home via bntfl blvd and BST.

Mileage is a guess.  Coming down was a lot of fun.  I ran into my neighbor up shoveling drainage diversions on the trail.

5.  On the treadmill.  I got some real short nylon shorts from amazon for $8.  My wife was laughing at me.  What they lack in length they do not make up for in support.  I had to fetch some whitey tighties.

For now, 8 mph counts as fast.  Treadmill.  Guess what?  Law and Order reruns are on ion tv.  Good show.

1 @ 7, 1@8 repeated, plus 2@7 to finish.  Somehow my wife volunteered to host thanksgiving this year.  I don't feel old enough for this opportunity.

I ran for a while on the treadmill before work.  Somehow the iPad I was watching interferes with the display on the treadmill, so I don't know the distance for sure.  But I was on that squeaky piece of crap for 55 minutes, so....

5 inside watching a football game, then 5 outside because it was halftime and too nice of a day to stay inside for another 45 minutes. 

I'm in much worse shape this year, both physical and financial,  because I'm not doing yard work anymore.  But mentally it's nice to see Saturday as a relaxing day off rather than another work day.

Race: SDRC Turkey Trot (6.2 Miles) 00:46:30, Place in age division: 2

On a cold, windy thanksgiving morning.  PW in the 10k, but running is a simple activity that follows the GIGO rule.

Highlights include:

Russ running for the age division win, smoking all his competitors.

Anna running the 5k independently

Malevolent east wind on the run up Pages Lane

Getting punked by a super old guy, and having no chance to catch him, or the ponytail ahead.  If the walking 5k people would yield, then maybe I would have had a chance. 

Russ bringing my coveted pumpkin pie and visiting for a while

Smoker Turkey, and a dozen relatives over for dinner.

Again on the treadmill, concurrent with christmas decorating frenzy.  Kids were happy to put it up.  They won't help much when it is time to take it down.  Kinda like light switches.  They can turn them on, but can't seem to turn them off.  Even when it's a 3 way that is in the down position, they still can't do it.

On the treadmill, watching old football, while Gabey climbed around on the couches, and tried to knock down the fan.  He's amazing.
